Hands turning into fists , Vernals muscles tensed . " well the stories can also be made up by those who hate them. You don't know how far programs will go to spread hate and rumors just to be right and win " she half mumbled . Then she frowned "if you guys were really my friends you'd support me -" she was now starting to doubt them.

"CLU's rounding up every ISO on the Grid-- and whoever's been around them-- and derezzing them." She kept her voice hushed. "It's horrific. Seeing whole cities razed to the ground because of ISOs living there..." Skye looked at Chris, then Mara with what could only be described as a mixture of grief and utter terror.

"Th-that's awful," she choked, bottom lip trembling. Her hands began to shake.

"Look, I can see why you feel so strongly about this, but I'm just saying that it seems a little extreme," Zed countered. "Maybe you should join those two guys that work on Commander Paige's task force-- Bartik and Hopper. They're nuisances, but they don't get into enough danger every cycle to be worried about their positions."

Chris felt Skye shaking, and looked at her. "Skye, calm down... calm down... I won't let them take you. You know that." He reassured her. "Do you know when, or where he does this?" He asked Mara. He looked up at Zed with hatred for him. What did ISO's do to you?!

Huffing and feeling slightly offended "danger as in from the Job alone?.. Ill be fine. I can take care of myself . Just let me do this . Please " she begged. "And if you talking about me getting into trouble ill be fine as well, I'm not stupid . Trust me when I say ill be fine . "

(and Zed's just like
aw snap)
(and, headcanon incoming--)

Skye buried her face in Chris' side. What if all of Argon was going to be destroyed because of her?! She hugged Chris tightly, in an effort to stop shivering.

Mara put a hand on her shoulder, then looked up at Chris, trying to make sure Skye wouldn't hear. "Some say he transports them to a coastal prison. Any program that's been in contact with an ISO is questioned and scanned, then quarantined if the firewalls think they're contaminated."

"I just think you should really slow down and think this over. You only just got here," Zed eventually said, trying to convince her that this wasn't a good idea. "And it's not everything they say it is. They-- they rip the code from your disc and replace it with firewall subroutines!"

"Shh, I'm here Skye, I'm here. What happens to the ISO's? Skye, is a special ISO, she can't get derezzed. " Chris held Skye, and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm here Skye... I'm here."

"All I know, is that they're eventually derezzed. I have no idea how it's done, at least when it's done like that. I've only witnessed-- wait, she can't be derezzed?!" She put a hand on Chris' shoulder and retracted her protective gear. "Zed, I'm gonna check the lights from the inside, okay?" He gave her a thumbs-up. Mara gestured for Chris to follow her into the cabin. "Don't worry. The box is soundproof, and I made sure there aren't any sort of listening devices installed. You can trust me on that."

Special? No, she wasn't special; she was cursed. Cursed by Shaw's weapon. Destined to walk the Grid long after the last program derezzed. Her sobs were silent, but shook her entire body.

Chris followed Mara inside, and brought Skye with him. "You okay, Skye? I'm here, and you know that." " He stood in the cabin, and put a arm around Skye. He looked up at the roof, hoping Zed couldn't hear them. "Are you sure Zed can't hear us?" He hoped Skye was okay with this, he didn't want her to be scared.

Vernal grumbled once again "that may not be a bad thing...if I am still me..if I still have memories of you guys. Ill be fine " she said. She was determined with this. She has to think positive . She was doing something good! She has a purpose now! She's not just laying around! "Zed, please. I know your concerned ...but this way I have a purpose . c'mon....." she then grabbed her disc "Paige could've done something to me when she scanned me, but she didn't . trust me I was scared by her, she however changed my mind - in a way " she shrugged.
